Kenyon And Terry Confirm Manchester City Approach For John TerryThe Blues' chief executive tries to restore some calm at the shell-shocked club by insisting that they are holding on to their prize asset, a motion that the player himself agreed with...

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has confirmed that Premier League rivals Manchester City made an approach for Blues captain John Terry, but added that this was rebuffed.

Terry has been the rock of a solid Chelsea defence for the past eight years, and the Pensioners are keen to hang on to their academy graduate.

Kenyon indicated recently that the club will have to start selling players in order to bring new talent into the club, as owner Roman Abramovich looks to balance the books at Stamford Bridge.

But the former Manchester United staff member also stated that there was no possibility of Terry moving to Eastlands, and said that he would remain at the club for some time to come.

Speaking on Chelsea's official club website, Kenyon said, "We made it very clear that John was not for sale.

"We did not entertain any further conversation on the subject and nor will we in the future.

"John is our captain and the captain of England. He is part of the heart and soul of Chelsea."

The player himself also reiterated his desire to stay at the club and stated he wishes to end his career at Stamford Bridge.

"Chelsea told me what had happened with the enquiry as a courtesy," said the 28-year-old.

"I was very happy with their reaction as mine would have been the same. I have always said that I want to end my career at the club which I love and we all see no reason why that cannot happen."Given recent events I am more determined than ever to make Chelsea successful again."____________________________________________________________________________________
